So recently I have been contacting wedding planners (not for me anytime soon) to see what they offer and how different are they from each other, I meet one a couple days ago that I was in such a surprise the whole time I was just thinking of ways to get out of there. Like OMG I know you’re a guy and straight but that doesn’t make you the greatest wedding planner in Kuwait. The lies and stories and OMG how can someone be so full of themselves. I don’t want to bad mouth anyone but this was a major shock to me, like he told to me he says this to his clients “I know it’s your wedding but it’s up to be to make all the decisions, all you have to do is give me your colors”
I was like to myself “why would I want someone like this to do my wedding?”
But some women are ok with that I guess since he does have a client list. I don’t think I will ever go see this planner ever again I don’t want to even learn anything from him. For me I think any event is what the client wants the client gets all my job is to get it done for them and make it 100 times better than what they have imagined because that’s what an event planner does, not take over and the client has no say what so ever at the end of the day it’s their money not yours.
Oh forgot to mention that his only goal is to be famous. “Nooo”
One more this I forgot to mention again is that he said “he gets his Kosha (bridal stage) designs from USA” i have never seen in my life a Kosha in a Western wedding bridal table maybe but not Kosha. This is what he says to his clients. SERIOUSLY!!!
As you can see he makes me very frustrated.
Another wedding planner I’m working with she is simply amazing she gives the client what they ask for and more, listens to what they want, delivers what they asked for and more. This is what I’m trying to learn to do for my business again its money from their pockets they should get what they paid for.
But with all of that I learned how to be an event planner how to please my clients and what not to do. The Do’s and Don’ts of event planning.
True I don’t want to be a wedding planner but that’s the hardest event to plan getting through one wedding is like going through five birthday parties. The process of a wedding is extremely stressful for the bride, the mother, the sisters and most of all the planner and her/his team.
To be one of the best event planners you got to do the dirty work first, learn from who you think is the best than become your own.
